The Biomedical Engineering Research Center Welcomes Mechanical Engineering Department Students on a Scientific Visit to Enhance Practical Knowledge

On February 26, 2025, the Biomedical Engineering Research Center received a delegation of faculty members and third-year students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering. The visit was part of a scientific exchange program aimed at introducing students to the applications of mechanical engineering in the medical field and exploring the latest technologies and devices used in this domain. The visit began with an introductory lecture delivered by specialists from the center, discussing the role of mechanical engineering in developing medical equipment and devices, such as prosthetic limbs and specialized medical instruments. Following the lecture, the students toured the center’s laboratories, including the Prosthetics Laboratory, where they observed advanced manufacturing processes using digital fabrication techniques and 3D printing. They also visited the Biomedical Signals and Devices Laboratory, where they explored simulation models of human organs and their interaction with mechanical devices.

Additionally, the visit featured a discussion session on the center’s ongoing research projects and ways to involve students in graduation projects related to biomedical engineering. The students also attended practical demonstrations on the functionality of various medical devices used in diagnosis and treatment. At the end of the visit, the students expressed their appreciation for the experience, emphasizing the importance of such visits in enhancing their practical understanding and connecting academic knowledge with real-world applications. They also recommended increasing the frequency of these visits in the future and proposed organizing joint workshops between the Biomedical Engineering Research Center and the College of Engineering to strengthen research and practical collaboration.
